Sugam Sharma (April 28th, 2008) STRENGTHS: punch in the bass is the strength WEAKNESSES: break in period REVIEW: I blew my db 124o sub last week and have been using , i still am going through the break in period for the same .I really donot know how long is the break in period bt hope it turns out to be better than the db    Rjennings (August 15th, 2007) STRENGTHS: Super tight, quality construction, strong material. WEAKNESSES: None yet! REVIEW: Just purchased a used 12 in momo in an enclosed box !! This is the first sub i have had since my younger days when i had two 12 in subs in a mini truck, and i will have to say, this 1 12 in Polk outperforms the two i had in the truck and this is in a jeep! (not the best stereo vehicle)    Ahmed (February 6th, 2007) STRENGTHS: Excellent product for an excellent deal. WEAKNESSES: You must be kidding! REVIEW: I bought 2 of these subs a few weeks ago. First I only had one hooked up to the polk c500.1 and threw them in a custom built box. It sounded amazing. I hooked up the 2nd sub in another box to lower the ohm load as I don't usually turn up the bass too much. I'm very pleased with the way these subs sound. When I turn it up, however, one of them distorts a tiny bit, but thats only because my box isn't as air-tight as it should be. But thats my fault, I put it together quickly. I'll fix it soon. In conclusion: these subs kick a**. buy it, buy it now!    Andy (November 22nd, 2006) STRENGTHS: Pound hard and clear distortion free. WEAKNESSES: I'll let you know. REVIEW: Had one of these in the back of my explorer for about 3 years. Better than the old JL's I had in there. And I'm sure not many better subs out there. Thoroughly satisfied. I got mine with Polk's custom sealed enclosure from Circuit City. Nice deal.    Anmol Kohal (April 3rd, 2006) STRENGTHS: This thing can pound like no other. Only my first sub but they are louder than most of my friends and they cost less. Look really clean too. WEAKNESSES: Some distortion as you push more power. This is easily solved by getting a more airtight enclosure. REVIEW: Got these bad boys hooked up to a Diesel 1200 watt amp. So loud the neighbors are on a witch hunt after my TL. Agreed that these subs are the best bang for the buck. Straight poundage.    steve (February 23rd, 2006) STRENGTHS: They have great sound qualty and outstanding base. WEAKNESSES: None I have pushed the speakers to their max+ more and have not had one crack yet. REVIEW: I have 4 12" momo's in a blazer and they make the hair on your neck stand up and your vision blury. They hit so hard it blew out my window lock.    Josh (January 26th, 2006) STRENGTHS: Power Handling, durability, clean sound, look, price, etc... WEAKNESSES: N/A REVIEW: I have always been an avid follower of Polk home theatre speakers, which led me to purchase these for my car. I could not have made a better decision. These are the cleanest sounding subs that i have ever heard in any car, in any configuration. And for the price that i got them for, it was a steal for what i have gotten out of them so far. I've had them now for about a year and to this day it still amazes me how well these subs perform. I have them powered by a 1700 watt kenwood amp and it doesnt phase them in the least bit. Definately recommend these to anyone looking to pure clean sounding base into their ride.    Matt (January 9th, 2006) STRENGTHS: Powerful, clean, and responsive. WEAKNESSES: Hit so hard they loosen up anything that can be loosened in your car, which leads to rattling. But this isn't really a weakness.... REVIEW: I had some older polks that got jacked...Luckily, I had comprehensive insurance, and when I told the insurance company I had "two polk 12s" they sent me two of these. I just want to say thank you to whoever jacked my subs, because these momos beat the hell out of my old polks. I have a hatchback, and they rattled the threads off of the bolts in the hatch. Whoever is giving these subs a bad review probably didn't hook them up properly or put them in a lousy box, because pound for pound they are some of the loudest subs you can buy.    damian (January 5th, 2006) STRENGTHS: like i said it kicks ass WEAKNESSES: nuttin REVIEW: this sub is the shit if you want power this is it it hits so hard from my 1994 ford exploer that i can make dishes fall of the table inside and i only got 2 and a 800 watt polk audio amp and rember polk is tha shiznit so 4 all u peeps who like to rumble it dont get no more bad ass than polk    Josh Moomey (December 14th, 2005) STRENGTHS: great Crystal clear bass... REVIEW: This is the best sub i have ever had! It sounds better then punch, kicker, etc..    Nick (November 30th, 2005) STRENGTHS: Durable construction Clean strong sound WEAKNESSES: nothin really! REVIEW: Very nice subs. I just put two of them in a custom built box in my F150, hooked up to a 1000 watt kenwood, and they are sweet!    Joe Downs (November 14th, 2005) STRENGTHS: Tight Hitting of the sub WEAKNESSES: hook it up right and you shouldnt have a problem REVIEW: MM2124 Sub defintly pounds...built the box from the dimensions given and tried that out and tried a regular single bandpass, defintly a diffrence with a tight hit with the dimensions given from polk.    paul (October 18th, 2005) STRENGTHS: sound quallity REVIEW: I dont know about some of these guys but best subs i ever bought. crystal clear. pounds unbelievable for the power handling. bought 3 years ago. sold to brother, he still has them. I want a new pair. awsome price. put abought 860watts through them. still going strong.    rob (October 7th, 2005) REVIEW: ive got four of these and they pound    James Black (August 31st, 2005) STRENGTHS: Looks cool and its new WEAKNESSES: Alot REVIEW: Its a okay speaker that offers alot on a small budget but as far as it being the best its not in the same playing field. Its okay as long as you keep the stereo at a nice level when turned up its terrieble    NUGEN (April 28th, 2005) STRENGTHS: if YOU HAVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND SHIFT KNOB IT MATCHES WEAKNESSES: I HAD A JL5001 RUNNING 2 OF THESE AND COULD NOT HEAR THEM IN A HATCH PUT THE W3 JLS RIGHT BACK IN THE PLACE THEY LEFT REVIEW: tHE ONLY THING GOOD IS THE DESIGN THEY LOOK COOL    roger patel (April 3rd, 2005) STRENGTHS: very bumping and makes me feel happy WEAKNESSES: my car fall apart broke holes in trunk and amp started on fire from too much bumpy bump bought new car and bumpy again I need to buy 10 more and blow my windows out REVIEW: I have neva bumpy so loud poot in boc and blew up swap for nu one and bumpy again now my box smells toasty    jlaudio (March 2nd, 2005) STRENGTHS: theys subs are the best and can hold any amount of power WEAKNESSES: there are no weaknesses REVIEW: i just filled out a survey to win some 12 inch subs, i hope i win. my neighbor just got some and he is pushin about 1500 watts through it and the sub is only a 400 watt sub!    alex (March 2nd, 2005) STRENGTHS: theys subs are the best and can hold any amount of power WEAKNESSES: there are no weaknesses REVIEW: i just filled out a survey to win some 12 inch subs, i hope i win. my neighbor just got some and he is pushin about 1500 watts through it and the sub is only a 400 watt sub!    jlaudio (February 9th, 2005) STRENGTHS: this is the best sub i've ever had. WEAKNESSES: there are no weaknesses, when i blew a polk sub it was bexause i was over powering it by 500 watts. REVIEW: awsome sub i'd recamend to anyone    Silent Assasin (January 20th, 2005) STRENGTHS: It can take as much power as you can afford.Loud ,deep bass that makes you proud to be an owner of a POLK. WEAKNESSES: This speaker has no weaknesses as far as i am concerned. REVIEW: the best speaker that i ever heard in my life.it sounds better than most pioneers in its class.idid not think ia 400watt speaker could actually take 1000watts of raw power.it is an EXCELLENT speaker.    dp (November 18th, 2004) STRENGTHS: very tight bass, hard hitting, great sub if you're looking for single driver systems. WEAKNESSES: not so sure about the 400W RMS... i ran an audiobahn A8000T with the level barely a 1/4 turn and only 3db gain and burnt the coil REVIEW: great subs, nice looking. had 1 in ported box in my truck and had got plenty of rumble. 2 months in and without any real abuse (did turn it up a few times) it lost substantial SPL and got that funny smell. tempted to buy another but Polk's warranty is crap. Polk Response: Not sure what you mean about the warranty remark. What you describe should be covered by the warranty. If you haven't already done so, contact Polk customer service department in Baltimore: (800) 377-7655 or email polkcs@polkaudio.com.    Nolan (October 30th, 2004) STRENGTHS: Plays loud and deep, hits hard, sounds great, looks great, uses a small enclosure(doesn't take up much trunk space in my car), low price for such a great sub. WEAKNESSES: The break-in period, I'm impatient and I want to turn it up right after I hook it up. Other then that, NONE, this is an amazing subwoofer, easily the best in it's class, and maybe even the best on the market. REVIEW: I have one of these subs in a small sealed enclosure in my trunk, powered by a MTX amplifier pushing between 400 to 500 watts. It sounds absolutely great and can be turned up to unbearably loud volume levels. It can hold the deep, resonating bass note from a bass guitar or quickly punch out the rapid bass notes from a bass kick drum. Sounds great at low and high sound pressure levels. If you want quaility or volume or both then get this subwoofer, it is easily worth the $140. Compared to cheaper subs, there is no comparision, Polk wins, and when compared to more expensive subs, Polk still wins. I've heard them compared to Alpine Type R, MTX Thunder 8000, Rockford Fosagate, Kenwood Tornadoes, Pioneer, Sony Xplods, even JL W0, W3, & W6 and this sub is just better. Plus, with the price difference you could buy a couple of Polks for the cost of just one of the others. Bottom line, if you want a great sub at a great price then this is the sub for you.    Travis (October 23rd, 2004) STRENGTHS: VEERRRY clean and crisp. These hit reeal hard, i love em. WEAKNESSES: None, we're talkin polk audio here people REVIEW: top quality, nothing beats polk    Albert Pine (October 15th, 2004) STRENGTHS: Very strong, and hard. I found that bigger is better baby. WEAKNESSES: I'm a little too fat. So I had to buy two of them. One for each butt cheek. REVIEW: Try greasing up this bad boy and sitting on it at high volume. You will love it.    Ryan A. (September 28th, 2004) STRENGTHS: Great subs. Hit hard and have a nice clean sound. WEAKNESSES: None yet... So far. REVIEW: These subs are a must buy...    Robert (August 28th, 2004) STRENGTHS: Hits hard and clean with lower levels of power and even harder and just as clear with the RMS WEAKNESSES: I have had one blow because it got too much power from my cap... i think thats the cap's problem tho. Created a nice cloud of smoke in my car :-D REVIEW: I happen to have put 4 12" in my extended cab with 400w (RMS) to each with a custom box. wow. i have never had to turn down the bass before. ive won a local bass tournament and came in a close 3rd at a very large one. These are great subs for a daily driver or anyone that wants some bass to their music but also someone that wants to get the neighborhood rattling. I suggest buying them now.    Peter Chen (August 25th, 2004) STRENGTHS: heavy, stiff, and clear bass. no distortion. WEAKNESSES: Guess not. REVIEW: Eeeexcellent subs, got two 12"s and a free enclosure(Q Logic) for just 121.30(Circuit City), am running 140 watts(RMS) for each with a PYLE pla885 amp. Boy...I am very satisfied and proud to be a Polk|MOMO owner. going to try 400 watts(RMS) for each in the future. Go get one if you can. Great !    Stephen (August 23rd, 2004) STRENGTHS: It hits very hard. The sound is tight, clean, and precise. WEAKNESSES: No weaknesses so far. REVIEW: I just bought 2 of these about 2 weeks ago. I have them running off of the new Alpine 9827 head unit and off a soundstorm amplifier. The sound quality is just excellent, hits very hard and precise. The only thing I wish I did was bought a more powerful amp. The amp I have only pushes 150 watts RMS by 2 at 4ohms. These subs are in a small enclosure so it still gives me plenty of space in my trunk to work with. This is the first pair of subs that I own and they can beat my friends jlaudio w3's no question. These aren't even broken in yet and they are still this good. Anyone who lives near a Circuit City should buy these there since they are giving them away dirt cheap. Get this sub, you will not regret it!    Chris (August 22nd, 2004) STRENGTHS: great sound, low deep bass (i custom made my ported box), hits hard, great for the money. WEAKNESSES: i dont know, as i have only had this sub installed in my truck for a day now REVIEW: wow, i had two gnx124's, then i saw this woofer on sale at circuit city for 70 bucks. this hits so much better and it is way cleaner and louder then both the gnx124's on the same amp. i'm running 600watts to it @ 4ohms.    Brandon (August 9th, 2004) STRENGTHS: Extremely accurate "tight", with any type of music. Awesome power handling. 451 RMS, full gain, absolutely no distorstion. WEAKNESSES: Are you kidding me? REVIEW: Wow...this is honestly the tightest and best sounding sub, Ive heard in a long time. I have been building car audio systems since I was 16 (now 24) and the addition of one sub off of my Fosgate Power 451s bridged is more than enough bass than I need. Absolutely no distortion and the accuracy of this sub is beyond compare. I guess the best word for it would be extremely "tight" bass with optimal output. Do these subs really have a power limit??? I was more than impressed with the accuracy of the mono system/ although I am still considering another (same) amp, and sub to complete a perfect stereo system, but I honestly dont know how much better it can get. Good job POLK. P.S. about the "fart comment" you should probably learn how to wire a sub and amp before you begin to install. + and -    clint buckner (August 3rd, 2004) STRENGTHS: very good lows and highs. Looks great! WEAKNESSES: Only worked for 3 weeks! REVIEW: I only had it for 3 weeks before it completely quit working on me! I had to send it to Polk to get warranty repairs or replacement.    Dunnaaz (July 17th, 2004) STRENGTHS: Very good clean bass, great airmovement. WEAKNESSES: Tell me ? REVIEW: I've mounted 2 of these in my Opel Vectra B CC. And it sounds like hell on wheels with just 2x140w. Wonder what they will do with even more power on them. Thank you John & Peter from John's Automotive Rijsbergen, for making the best subwooferbox i ever had. And also a big thanks to Polk Audio, greetings from Holland.    Hot Rod (July 10th, 2004) STRENGTHS: They pound like a sledge hammer. They are clear as mountain spring water. They can handle TONS of power!! WEAKNESSES: I don't believe there are any weaknesses. REVIEW: THESE SPEAKERS ARE DEFINATLY THE BEST BOOM FOR THE BUCK. I am very pleased with the affordability,quality,looks and performance of the 12''s.If YOU DON"T HAVE"EM GO GET"EM.    Thudguy (July 5th, 2004) STRENGTHS: Extremely clear, accurate bass. WEAKNESSES: None to speak of REVIEW: This is a great subwoofer. It pounds like madness even with only 300 watts going through it. It simply reaches down and snatches the low notes. Really nice sub.    john (June 2nd, 2004) STRENGTHS: very hard bass in a sealed enclosure WEAKNESSES: none that i know of REVIEW: all i can say are these subs are awsome! circuit city is deleting them i got mine for 65 dollars. thats been a hell of a deal    gustavo (May 29th, 2004) STRENGTHS: The quality and loudness are just amazing WEAKNESSES: i'll tell you when i find one REVIEW: this sub is awsome, i have 2 of these with 200 watts to each and they sound so high, even with little power.    dave (May 22nd, 2004) STRENGTHS: they hit hard and very clean with deep strong bass WEAKNESSES: NONE AT ALL! REVIEW: man i hooked my two mm2124s to my 1990 trueno and they pound as hard as they look in my shit    Erich (May 6th, 2004) STRENGTHS: The cleanest hardest hitting bass around. Worth the money. WEAKNESSES: Are there any? REVIEW: These are the best period. I recently got 2 of these and they hit harder and cleaner than audiobahn, infinity, and bazooka put together. The sound quality is excellent. Anyone who says different is nothing but bull.    Michael House (April 24th, 2004) STRENGTHS: Tight bass not boomy, they also hit hard when given enough power. This sub can play and handle any music. WEAKNESSES: None REVIEW: Overall this sub is very versitile I play all types of music and the sub is very balanced. It doesn't overpower my MB Quarts they blend perfect. I'm using a MTX 502 amp briged to provide 500W to the sub and it sounds awesome.    ### (April 20th, 2004) STRENGTHS: Crisp clean NO distortion, Lows hit awsome, along with the Highs. WEAKNESSES: WISH I HAD 2 more REVIEW: Wow, I have two 12inch polk MM2124's hooked up with an 800watt kenwood amp, and there is no distortion what-so-ever. These are one of a kind sub's, the sound is crisp and you can feel the sound in your chest when it hits. If your looking for sub's that are low-priced and very easy to hook-up then I sugest going with these subs. I have had numorus amount of complaments and satisfied friends that have heard my ploks, its a great buy!! 10/10!!    Alex (April 14th, 2004) STRENGTHS: AWESOME WEAKNESSES: NONE REVIEW: i bought 2 of these subs last month and have two carbon series polk amps powering them.. they sound great, hit hard.. i am happy with my purchase    A. T. (March 23rd, 2004) STRENGTHS: They aren't even heavy... WEAKNESSES: P.O.S.? REVIEW: These suck. I don't know what everyone else says, they sound like someone farting into a megaphone.    michael gibson (January 15th, 2004) STRENGTHS: hit hard!!! WEAKNESSES: are there any? REVIEW: i bought 2 of the 12"s for 100 a piece iand i have never owned a better sub and i have had the rockford fosgate HX2 10" and also had a 12" MTX 8000 i have a rockford fosgate 501x amp i recomend have at least 200-250 watts to each sub but thats just me the next subs i get will be polk these are well worth the money    Tony (January 13th, 2004) STRENGTHS: They are very powerful and hit clean witch is important and hard. WEAKNESSES: I cant even think of one. REVIEW: They are intence subs. I had GNX's but i blew them with the Audio Bahn A8000T, The MOMOs pound great and so clean and really hard. They are the best subs in the town and i got em.    swerve (January 3rd, 2004) STRENGTHS: Very Clear, Very Responsive, and hits very hard. WEAKNESSES: none yet REVIEW: Just put these in with a c500.1 amp. I'm going to have alot of fun with these!    Josh (December 28th, 2003) STRENGTHS: Work great with small airspaces. Looks and a really rigid cone. WEAKNESSES: I haven't found one yet REVIEW: Exceptional, I have tried JL audio, MTX, Audiobahn and even MB Quart and these by far are the best. They are so clean and hit really low. I'm only pushing 150watts RMS to each of them. I have ordered a new amp to put 400 RMS to each and i'm willing to bet that I will be turning down the gain alot. They fill up my grand cherokee perfectly and look great too.    Pat (December 7th, 2003) STRENGTHS: Low or no distortion, handle extra power nicely, look sweet WEAKNESSES: NONE REVIEW: These subs are sweet. I got two of the 12's in my explorer sport. I wired them in paralell to achieve a 2-ohm load on my amp. Thses subs are made out of quality materials and the research done to produce polk products is what makes them sound so good. I would describe them as a clean bump. I have them hooked up to a MTX 15001D amplifier (1500 watts!). This amp is 1100 watts RMS and the polks handle the extra power nicely. I also have 2 capacitors. A 1-farad, and a .5 farad. I alos love the way these subs look. I highly recommed the grills.    Russ (December 4th, 2003) STRENGTHS: Very strong and can take a lot of power WEAKNESSES: Non Yet! REVIEW: I just bought 2polk 2124 and I think that they are very hard hitting twelves. They hit way harder then my brothers two cerwinvegas!    sjors boomschors (October 24th, 2003) STRENGTHS: great sound, can handle a lot of power WEAKNESSES: does it have a weakness?¿ i can't find it. REVIEW: great subwoofer, can't say anuthing else, makes my ecpectatins come true. but does anubody know his rms, his power handling continious?    Ryan (October 11th, 2003) STRENGTHS: CLEARITY #1 Hits Mega Hard #2 WEAKNESSES: the lows are so great REVIEW: I had 2 mtx thunder 6000 and switched to these. my buddy had these and they blew mine out of the water. He even had a smaller amp. When i got them the more watts the harder they pounded!    Keith Murray (October 6th, 2003) STRENGTHS: Hit hard, and handles lots of power. WEAKNESSES: On higher levels dont hit as low any more because of the max power handling, but does not distort. REVIEW: Polk MOMO's are great they hit hard, low and give off a deep growl in small enclosures. The more power you run to them the better, im running a Kenwood 1000 watt class D and it works wonderful on these subs. Make sure to torque them down tight because they will un-seal there selfs.    Benjamin Bridges (September 1st, 2003) STRENGTHS: They sound good in small enclousers REVIEW: I just recently purchased my first Polk audio products. I bought 2 Polk MOMO 12's mm2124. I hooked both 12's in a custom box in my 1989 Camaro RS running to a 1000 watt amp. All i can say is that they SLAM!!! They hit much harder than my previous mtx 6000s & my kenwood tornadoes
